Hello Family,

I don't have an overwhelming amount of energy today, so I thought I'd send a mass email. I'll be sure to do better this upcoming Monday.

I have a new companion. He is Elder Hansen. He lived in Orem for the first 15 years of his life and now lives in Idaho. He is a very hardworking, obedient missionary and I think we are going to get a lot done.

We are seeing success here in Colwyn Bay. Andrew and Lisa, our dated investigators are doing well now. They dropped us twice in the past week for interesting reasons, but we talked to them about it and they are doing fine now. They should be baptized in about three weeks. We also taught Adam's mother and grandmother and they are fantastic. They just can't tell us enough about how great the gospel has been to Adam and how much he has changed (happier). They are very enthusiastic about the message.

The weather is starting to get warmer, but on this particular day is very cold and windy.

I don't really know what else to say except that I really need to start eating healthier, and judging by what I just bought for the next week, I won't be eating healthy for at least a week.

love you all,

Elder Misbach

Hello family,

I'm writing late this week because my companion has been sick with the stomach flu for the past two days. He is doing better now though, so all is well. This last week was Adam's baptism which went very well. He was very emotional after both his baptism and his confirmation. He is a stud. Unfortunately I forgot my camera so I can't send pictures, but I will send them next week. You aren't missing much though because I forgot my camera at the baptism as well, haha.

Things are going pretty well. We were inside for the two worst weather days in quite a while and it's beautiful today. It's transfers next week so I won't be emailing until either Wednesday or Thursday next week. Because this is a branch and is generally a pretty slow area, missionaries don't normally stay for longer than two transfers, so there is a good chance I will have another companion when I email next. I'm looking forward to that.

Not much else to say. Aside from the baptism it's been pretty uneventful. We have seen a ton of miracles, but they are more "you had to be there to really experience it" sort of things.

Things are going well

Love

Elder Misbach
